Sheep Raising in the South.

If the people of the New South only
knew it. they could nearly control the
mutton market in the United States.
This assertion need not startle any one
who is conversant with their advan-
tages. The things which discourage, or
stand in the way Of such
realization are transitory. A sys-
tenn of farming or plantation man
agement prevails-formerly more than
now-which hinders it. 1t is one pro-
duct or nothing. The laborers, who
have been mostly negroes, are race
not inclined to shepherds life. nor
are their dispositions most suitable to
handling sheep. The amount of dog,
that is SO numerically abundan around
the hut of the Southern plantation, is
an eradicator of mutton to such an
extent that 1t exterminates all that are
not too fleet to be caught by a hungry
cur. These three difficulties can be
overcome rapidly and permanently.
An abundance of grass pasturage
which when properly rotated will sup
ply succulent food the year round;
lands that will produce enormou 5
crops of corn, oats or peas, as well as
abundant root crops so essential in
fattening mutton sheep; when consid-
cred in connection with a mild climate
which will permit the grazing and
rearing of lambs in the winter months
December to March even more readily
than in the spring-presents us with a
formidable array of facts, which most
concerns the farmers of the South, and
SHOULD convert them to practical ap-
plication of business.
Who does not know the handsome
prices that good fatlambs and muttons
| would command in all our Northern
cities during the winter and spring
months? The States of South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi
could raise them in abundance. Their
wool is always as much OF cash ar
ticle az cotton, and is as profitable one
year with another. We have examined
the grasses and products of this region,
and know their natural advantages.
The coal and iron output combined Of
Georgia and Alabama, vast as they
are, could not exceed the profits to be
derived from the wool and mutton bus.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURAL.
The Tobacco Crop.

It is said as to low grades it must be
admitted there is an abundant su pply
more than enough for the years re-
quirements; but against that fact is
the circumstance that these grades are
S33 per cent lower in price than they
were in 1884. when average lots suit
able for the Spanish reggie brought
from 81 to 81 cents, and to-day goods
of the same character can be had at B
to st cents; while it has to be remem-
bered that the great decline in produc-
ton this year is in sections which have
produced the great surplus of low
grades. There will certainly be a
shortage, it is assumed. in these grades
this year.
Respe citing reggie tobaccos of the
higher type it has never been claimed
that the crop of 1886 yielded a greater
supply than the crop of 1885. and the
reggie requirements for 1886 practically
exhausted the supply suitable for that
appropriation. Now, with the de-
mands for 1887 for Italy and France,
which are 40 per cent. greater than
last year-amounting to 81, 900 hogs
heads, against 2S,0o0-it is argued
that it does not appear very clear, even
in view of the apparently enormous
stocks in sight, where enough tobacco
to go around will be found. The talk
that the regies can buy in European
markets what they need to fill their
contracts is deemed groundless.
Except Bremen, no market
Is known where one might
think of looking for suitable supplies
and there. according to advices datec
the middle of July, fully 1000 more
hocsheads of new leaf are wanted, and
tn with the old stockholm which,
presumably, the regies may hope te
fill their contracts-will all be needed
by the regular trade Of the place.
1t Is said that sy Indicate has pait

$18. 600. 600 for the privilege of fur
nislning the Spanish people with to
bacco for the year 18S7-in round fig

does not seem reasonable it is contend
ed. that the syndicate in its desire t
fulfill its contract with the Govern
ment would refuse to pay, if necessary
even ten cents pound-say $3.50 pc
hogshead-in order to furnish the 10
bacco required.
There are hints and evidences O
syndicates and corners at the Yves

Poisonous Perambulators.

Poisonous perambulators are probably
one of the least suspected of dangers, yet,
nevertheless, one which experience has
shown to exist, and, therefore, one against
which the parents of q family would do
we'll to be on their guard. A case is re-
corded of child, aged four months, who,
on its return after being out under hot
sun, was seized with sickness and vomit-
ing, the vomitel matter being green col
ored fluid. From inquiries made by the
medical man it was elected that the child
had been seen to suck green strap OF the
peram bulator, and the true cause of tho
m schief was at once suspected, namely,
arsenic poisoning. An analytical exam
NATION of the strap confirmed this view,
arsenic being found to be present in great
abundance. In spite of all that medical
ali coul effect, the child gradually sank
from exhaustion.-British Medical Journal.

gels, choose good piece of land,
that has deep soil, and is little
sandy so that it will not bake up hard
when the summer sun comes on it, but
it must be dry and not Doggy. As
early in the spring as it can be got in
good order to work I use roller to
crush the Jumps down fine, before fur
rowing out. From 2 feet to feet
inches from center to center is a good
distance between the burrows, and the
seeds are dropped about inches apart
in order to let the hoe pass between.
In manuring for this crop 1 use 40
loads to the acre. of good rotten
manure. prefer that made from corn
fodder, as it is less likely to have seeds
of so many kinds of weeds that are in
manure made by feeding hay. It is
better to be year old or more, as then
the young plants will flourish in dry
spell. After the land is furrowed out,
haul the manure and let it be spread
right in the bottoms of the drills, and
not too far ahead of the covering up
again.
Plant the seeds close after. the cover
ing of the manure; 2 or seeds in each
place with the finger and thumb. If
more seed no harm done. as in the soft
fine soil they can easily be pulled out in
the thinning, for which the best time is
when the plants are large enough, and
good soaking rain has come. Be care
full not to loosen the earth too much
around the plant left, as generally after
good shower of rain the sun shines
hot and would dry up the young roots.
Plant from 3 to 81 pounds of seed TO the
acre. Buy the seed of good reliable
dealers. After the seed is planted it is
good plan to roll the rows, so as to
press the earth down to keep it from
drying around the seeds, and the seed
will start to grow the sooner. In thin
ming out leave one to place. The
plants that are pulled out will do to fill
in the places where the seed missed
growing. Indoing this be sure and have
all the roots down as straight as possible.
If the plants are of good size cut off the
tops of the outside leaves as they would
be sure to wilt and fall over on the
ground. The straighter the newly set
plants can be kept the better they will
do.
During the last of the summer when
grass is scarce, / strip off all the out
side leaves and feed to the cows OF
sheep. This will help the roots to
develop in size, and also furnish feed
for the cattle. let them stay in the
ground as long as the frost stays away.
but before the hard frosts come I gel
them up and store them away where
they can not freeze and where Ican get
to them in the winter for use. A good
way to do, if the cellar is small, is tt
pile them up against the end of the
barn, secure them from frost on the
outside, and have small doorway tu
through from inside. If fastened every
time it is used the roots will be kept
from freezing and the cows or ewes in
lambing time will have needed food.
